First Days of School Presentations

Presentations were made to all grades on our students return to school by Mr. Phillips.  Taking the time to explain our school goals and student expectations of behavior are always important to establish at the beginning of every school year.  As has been posted in our community report, our school goals for this upcoming year still focus on four main areas.  These areas include:
  • Achievement - the motivation to work hard and attain excellence. 
  • Altruism – the motivation to help and be of service to others. 
  • Belonging – the opportunity to establish trusting connections. 
  • Independence – the opportunity to build self-control and responsibility.  
Students who are able to thrive in these four areas have been shown to have greater resiliency in life.

Our code of conduct was also reviewed.  Our five positive expectations include:
  • Be present and on time.
  • Strive to do your personal best.
  • Have respect for yourself.
  • Have respect for others.
  • Have respect for the environment.
Following these basic expectations will allow our students greater opportunity to have success at achieving our goals, and there for be more successful in their life paths.
